Hobo With a Shotgun Trailer is NSFW, Anywhere Else For That Matter

hobo_shotgun_225.jpgThe world is ending and everything is terrible, but you already knew that. What you didn't likely know is that there is some mild comfort to be found in that very dystopia, as you'll see in the new trailer for Rutger Hauer's Hobo With a Shotgun. Even as you nod along with Hauer's downer monologue to a newborn baby ("People look at you and think how wonderful your future will be. They want you to be a doctor or a lawyer. I hate to tell you this, but if you grow up here, you're more likely to wind up selling your body on the streets."), the punctuating sprays of blood, brains and viscera will at least assure that that baby will be endlessly entertained. And so will you.

It bears noting, however, that this is definitely up there among the gorier trailers to emerge in a while; if exploding heads, ritual hangings, mutilations, creative decapitations (three words: car, rope, manhole), and the rest of the carnage catalog on display here are going to spoil your lunch, perhaps it's best to hold off for another time. Lunch, that is -- this must be seen right now. And yes, it's for real; timed to Machete's opening, the new trailer teases a feature-length adaptation of the fake, fan-made trailer that appeared in certain versions of Grindhouse.

Anyway, I've really said too much. This is sick and deranged and I love it. Die happy.

VERDICT: Sold!
